Spring!

Spring brought with it warm weather, Abby's birthday, Nate's graduation from preschool, seasonal allergies, bike rides on the trail, a snake sighting in the backyard (just a tiny one), visits from the Myers cousins (in town for cousin Matt's soccer tournaments), thunderstorms, a tornado scare, a visit from G&G Myers, a trip to the zoo, baby bunnies in the backyard, and LOTS of playing outside and in the water.
At the Dallas Zoo. No matter where we are, if there is water, my kids will play in it.

The big 7! Abby was so excited for her birthday and kept counting down the days. She planned the menu for her special day - waffles with whipped cream for breakfast, ramen noodles for lunch, and tomato soup for dinner. Easy for me and perfect for her! She enjoyed opening her presents and got to do some special activities for her birthday.

I love this swimsuit!

The mama bunny burrowed underneath our green onions in the container garden to deliver her babies. Unfortunately, they didn't survive...and after a proper burial for the bunnies, we ended up emptying our container of its growing herbs. But never fear, there are plenty of bunnies in our yard - even a baby or two - who are alive and well, surviving mostly on a diet of any flower we plant in the backyard.

For Nate's preschool graduation, they did a short 10-15 minute program singing songs. Afterward, they each got an award handed out by their teacher. In typical Nate fashion, he refused to hug or even acknowledge his teachers when they handed him the award:
